You are unemployed and want a new job, under a Democratic president you have a better chance of getting one!

[Luckyone]

We could do a lot of what Norway does, if we tripled our fossil fuel production.

Not unless we adopt Democratic Socialism.

 

[sparky]

and so now were going to redit history here , by playing stats towards a partisan agenda and claim Clinton , who orchestrated the 'giant sucking sound' of NAFTA actually created jobs

what he created was a wall street windfall, at the expense of main street worker ants

but hey, i'm not analyst, just some redneck pig farmer who exists on a diet of pork and media bullsh*t

[IDIOCRACY]

You are being blind-by-choice

The OP gave you statistics going back 44 years an another poster added the following numbers from the Bureau of Statistics

Jobs:

Bush41 ... +2½ million
Clinton ..... +23 million
Bush43 .... +1½ million
Obama .. +11½ million
Trump ...... -2½ million
Biden .... +15½ million

Republicans ... 1½ million
Democrats ...... 50 million

Unemployment rate:

Bush41 .... +1.9
Clinton ...... -3.1
Bush43 .... +3.6
Obama ...... -3.1
Trump .......+1.7
Biden ......... -2.1

Republicans ... +7.2
Democrats ...... -8.3

and you avoid the numbers and put your opinion as being the true picture and then insult the messenger? In what fantasy land do you live in?

This one?

You completely ignored what I said. My issue is not with assisting the private sector but with the hypocrisy of Republicans who have no problem pouring billions, even trillions into the coffers of multibillion-dollar companies while making a stink about any social program that serves the working class. When the government spends money on infrastructure, or on social programs for working-class people, the Republicans start shouting "Who's going to pay for that?!", "We're broke, we don't have the money for that!", but they have no qualms or objections to serving the interests of the rich to the tune of trillions of dollars.

At least the Dems are more aware and concerned for the needs of the poor and working class. Biden with all of his hoakiness, is pro-labor unions, pro-worker rights. He's not anywhere as socialist as Bernie Sanders or AOC, but he's better than the Republican conservatives. Are Dems perfect? No, but they're the lesser of two evils when it comes to serving the working class. Republicans just care about the rich and powerful, to the detriment of the working class.

It's the democrat politicians in Washington state pouring billions into the coffers of a multibillion-dollar company.

At least the Dems are more aware and concerned for the needs of the poor and working class.

Right. Like all the poor and working-class employees and shareholders of Boeing.

I trade about 180 times a year. I am diversified into at least 6 different stocks with none of the stocks having more than 15% of the portfolio. When I say "per 100 shares", it means that it could be as little as 100 shares of a $300 stock or as much at 1000 shares of a $30 stock. As such, I give results based on 100 shares per stock, meaning at least a 30% profit on the entire portfolio for the year.

Your fantasy trades are very impressive.

Merrill Lynch and Pru-Bache. I worked for them in the 80's. They were the top two firms then.

Top two in what area?

No, why would you assume that the US spending money equates to Norway spending money? The "twatness" is in your brain perhaps.

We'd need more money, much more, to afford all the free goodies like Norway.

 

[TruthNotBS]

We would need to spend more money, yes, but how do you make the connection between Norway spending money and the American empire, spending money? Our spending is not contingent upon producing more oil. You claimed that if we spend more money on social programs, or public infrastructure, we'll have to produce more oil. No, why would you say that? Norway's spending isn't America's spending. We're two different animals.

What a BS question. You check it out and let us know.

Jobs are jobs

No they are not. Democrats are great at growing government. Using tax dollars to employ more Democrats isn't helping the country.

We need more private sector jobs. The jobs Democrats ship overseas or fill with illegals.

Sam Ash continues as an online retailer, but their brick and mortar stores are shuttered.

They continue as an online retailer only PARTIALLY, Some items are no longer being sold at all.
Example: medium to high priced violins. The only violin they now sell is the lowest priced (Carlo Robelli - $270) student model. The higher priced instruments are gone.
Of course, who is going to pay $500-$4000 for a violin that they can't touch, feel, play, and hear ?

Trombone same thing. they have just one. beginner model - $250.

Electric pianos are an exception. They sell 2 expensive ones (mostly on reputation).

They are also still selling some expensive electric guitars, however knowing guitarists as I do, they will be lucky to sell 10% of what they used to. Not only do folks have less money to spend (brick & mortar or online) after 3 years of big inflation, but are they going to shell out thousand$$$$ for a guitar they can't try out and hear ?

The OP is not about Clinton. It is about employment being better under Democrats than under Republicans for the past 44 years. Clinton is not anything being discussed here. He is simply the messenger of the information that is statistical.

There were more people employed when Trump was president, than at any time in US history before that.

In 2019, unemployment in the US (3.6%) was the lowest in a half century.

Historical U.S. Unemployment Rate by Year

The U.S. unemployment rate is a key indicator of the nation’s overall economic health. It has shifted over time in response to policy changes and historical events.

www.investopedia.com

Unemployment rates for Blacks, Hispanics, Asians, Native Americans, veterans, individuals with disabilities, and those without a high school diploma all reached lowest levels in US history.

Unemployment for women hit its lowest rate in nearly 70 years.

Unemployment did go down under trump for the first 2 1/2 years but the quality of employment dropped significantly. In addition, Unemployment under Obama dropped down to 4.1 and Trump inherited that. then came the pandemic and unemployment went through the roof.

I do not give Trump credit for the low unemployment.

Don't say stupid shit and I won't have to correct you. Here's the real median income, which peaked under Trump. "ah, but the jobs sucked"..............Shut up already.

Bill Clinton stated this evening that since 1989, 51 million new jobs have been created and under the Democrats, of those 51, 49 million were created under Democratic presidents and only 2 million were created under Republican presidents.

Clinton said he had to check it 3 times but that it was confirmed.

Here is a link to one of the articles that confirms that information:

“Since 1989 and a new age of globalization began, 51 million jobs have been created in America. 49 million, 96%, have been created under Democratic presidents.”

This means that more Americans were working under Democratic rule than under Republican presidents. More people working means a better economy, better lives, and better life for all.

This is also something that is true and that has been confirmed 100%

Bill Clinton was unreliable. Now he's still unreliable. It's probably his nature. If you don't believe me, go ask Lewinsky. lol.

While government policies and actions play a significant role in shaping the economy, a strong US economy depends on a variety of factors beyond just government intervention. Other key factors include:

1. Private sector: The business environment, innovation, entrepreneurship, and consumer confidence all contribute to economic growth.

2. Global economy: The US economy is interconnected with global markets, so international trade, geopolitics, and economic conditions in other countries can impact the US economy.

3. Monetary policy: The Federal Reserve's decisions on interest rates and monetary policy also influence economic activity and financial markets.

4. Labor market: Employment levels, wages, and workforce productivity are critical factors that impact economic growth.

5. Market forces: Supply and demand, competition, technology, and market trends also shape the economy. While government policies can create a supportive environment for economic growth through regulation, taxation, infrastructure investment, and fiscal stimulus, a strong economy requires a combination of factors working together.

It is the interaction of these various elements that ultimately determines the strength and resilience of the US economy.

==>Politicizing the US economy? For what? For fun? lol.
